Tie President and wife.


UTICA, y. Y, July l4.-President
and Mrs. Cleveland left for Forestport
at S:1j 4. NJ. to-day. The special con-
sisted of boudoir-carand locomotive,
and was occupied only by Mr.. and
Mrs. Cleveland, the latter's maid, SUI
perintendent Hammond, and Con
ductor Daniels. They were accompa-
med to the depit by Senator Herman
and his son. Mrs. Cleveiand's eye is
very much iufamed and pains her ex-
ccedingly. Or. Beth, of this city,
was called, and pronounced it either a
blind boil or the sting of an insect
The journey to Alder Creek was with
out other incident than the appearance
of groups of people at the various sta
tions rs tie train passed. A request
from Remsen that the people might
have an opportunity to see the Presi-
dent was referred to him by Assistant
Superintendent Hammond, who was IN
chaWe of the special, and the wish was
answered by the train running slowly
through the village, where a concourse
had the pleasure of greeting the dlstin-
eTIished travellers, who were once more
upon the rear platform. On the arrival
of the train Mt Alder Creek there was a
respectful gathering of people. The
travellers were met by Rev. William
\. Cleveland and his wife, and escorted
in carriages to their residence about
two miles east from Alder creek, on the
edge of the village of Forestport. 1t IS
pretty new cottage, built two years
ago under the supervision of Rev. Mr.
Cleveland, who is pastor of the Presby-
terrain mission focks at Forestport and
White-Lake Corners. The mistress of
this neat country home has been a
welcomed visitor at the White
House, and this, with the brotherly af-
lection existing between the President
and pastor argues that the restful visit
of the President and his wife during the
following two or three days will be OF
great enjoyment.

THE GANG is UNEASY.
One of Sullivan's Discharged Clerks Threat.
ems to Make Damaging Disclosures.

During the past four or Eve days the members
Of the tally -sheet gang have exhibited signs of
uneasiness and distress It is said that the cause
of this is attributable to the fact that the gang
has in some way become possessed of informa-
tion that testimony bearing upon their case
hitherto suppressed, has recently come into the
possession of gentlemen connected with the late
prosecution. A little of this narrowing frame of
mind had its rise in incidents following the dis
charge by County Clerk Sullivan OF an employe
soon after the trial 1t seems that this
empoye was knowing to numerous pri-
vate meetings held by the conspirators
in the courthouse while arranging
Tor their trial, and when he discharged he
sailed out and talked to a number of persons
His communications were attended with dark
lnsinuatlons that he knew more and that as he
had been ill-treated by Sullivan and others of
the gang he would take pleasure in placing his
knowledge where it would do the most good.
This threat had the effect of bringing Sullivan
to time. but as he could not take the discharged
clerk back into his own employ account of
the comment that would follow such a course
and show him to be deficient in backbone,
quality upon which he and Mr. Coy greatly pride
themselves, he secured place for the chatterer
in the county treasurers Office ard as Mr.
Coy insisted. with Senator Weir in the case of
Counselman, shut his mouth"

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR FARMERS.
An Official Agriculturist Who Thinks the
Crops Will Be Large Enough.

Mr.. Alex Heron. the Secretary of the State
Board of Agriculture, is not discouraged much
over the effect of the drought upon
growing crops The damage" he said
to Journal reporter yesterday. sis not
so serious as people generally suppose. I have
seen as fine potatoes this year as were ever
raised and the crop will, am pretty sure, be
large enough to supply the market Corn
has suffered great deal, but at the meeting
of agriculturists here last Saturday
the outlook was discussed and some OF the gem
tlemen who have large farms gave very encour-
aging reports. One thought that his yield
would be not less than eighty bushels per acre,
and others were confident that their crops would
be not far below the average. OF course
all farmers do not manage their crops well
these gentlemen, but after all, there will be
enough corn to supply the demand. It would
really be a good thing for the farmers if the crop
should be rather light. It would give them a
chance to work off their surplus supply at
good prices. And then I have always
noticed that big crops follow
dry season. The yield Of wheat the year after
the drought of 1881 was the largest we have had

SULLIVAN WILL DRAW THE JURTEs.
The jury commissioners, Spann and Flack.
yesterday examined the iurybox to see if the
names therin and pieces of paper which they
were written correspondent with what they put
into it, John E. Sullivan, the county clerk, on
being asked for the box. said that he did not
think the commissioners had any right to make
such examination. but he would forego that
question and let them take it, he knew the
contents were all right aud he wanted them to
satisfy themselves. The commissioners and
Deputy Clerk Schiey went to the Circuit Court
room with the box and after inspecting its con-
tents, Messrs. Spann and Flack concluded to
draw q jury for the Circuit Court, as Mr.. Flack
had been informed by the bailiff that one would
be shortly needed. After the names we're drawn,
the commissioners doubted whether such notice
from the bailiff was sufficient to make the draw
for notice from the judge. Mr.. Sullivan did
not take part in this drawing, but he after
wards told the commissioners that the jury
would not have been legal in any court, he
himself. the one who had the sole authority to
do. did not take the names from the box. He
intimated that when any juries are to be drawn
he would attend to it, with the assistance OF the
commissioners.

The Forty-Ninth Congress.

! The Congress which came to an end
yesterday will be remembered chiefly for
having enacted the interstate commerce
| law. No one can predict with any degree
of certainty what effect that law is going
to have upon the business and prosperity
OF the country. AS a general thing rail-
road men think it will be harmful to the
railroads and to business interests. The
people, however, are inclined to think
that it will prove 10 be helpful to them.
Doubtless it will be several months be-.
fore it will be possible to form an intelli-
gent opinion respecting it. There are
many questions connected with 1t which
| must be settled before 1t will work
smoothly.
The Forty-ninth Congress will also be
remembered for hav ing passed au out
rageous pension bill which, if it had re-
ceived the PresIden It's signature, would
have imposed upon the people an addi-
tional pension burden OF many millions
| OF dollars annually without any reason
able excuse. The dependent pension bill
was the work OF pension sharks and
demagogues, and it got through Congress
| because Congressman were afraid to OPP
pose it. Both Senators and Representa-
tiyes were forced into supporting it by
the threat that il they oppo sed it they
would incur the hos tility of the ex-
| soldier element of the North.
When the Forty-ninth Congress m ct in
| its first session it was understood that
the House would pass bill reducing the
| tariff. No such bill was passed. The
| people, however, know the reason. The
protection Democrats Joined the Republic
cans and INSTRUCTED tariff legislation.
| Mr.. Randall is, in great measure, re-
sponsible for the failure OF the House TO
| pass tariff reduction measure, Able as
| he is, and broad as he is in his views rela-
tive to many other matters, he has never
been able TO see beyond PennsylvanIa's
| interests where the tariff is concerned.
There is another thing for which Mr..
Randall is largely responsible, although
a day or two ago he took occasion to deny
his responsibility. 1t is the backward
condition in which appropriation bills
were in the very last week OF the session.
Great appropriation bills, carrying many
millions OF doilars, were rushed through
both houses at the last moment, and we're
presented to the President for his sigma
ture when there was not time for him to
examine them. One of them, the general
deficiency bill, failed altogether because
il could not be got ready for the action of
the Senate before the hour OF adjourn
ment arrived. Being chairman of the
Committee or Appropriations Mr.. Ran
dali ought to have had the bills reported
to the House and passed in ample time TO
give the Senate and the President an op-
portunity to consider them.
The Forty-ninth Congress will not take
its place In history as a strong Congress,
nor as a particularly weak one. 1t will
rank as an average one, having more
faults than virtues.
